Precautions

Do not write data to 'Reserved' bits in remote I/O signals (RY/RX) and 'Reserved' words in remote registers (RWr/RWw).

Doing so may cause an unexpected error.

Remote I/O signals (RY/RX)

The following shows the I/O signals for a master station (programmable controller) in a CC-Link IE Field Network Basic

connection.

■ Control blocks (RY)

Control blocks (RY) are output signals for a master station (programmable controller) to control a code reader.

*1 Bits 24 to 31 are virtual discrete input of the code reader.

When the bit turns from OFF to ON, an action associated with the bit is executed.

After the execution, the code reader sets the corresponding 'Soft Event Ack' in status blocks to show the action is completed.

*2 Do not execute 'Software Event' that changes code reader settings while processing the trigger.

Changing settings during image capturing or decoding may cause an unexpected result.

*3 The execution result of the DMCC command cannot be acquired.

Bit Data name Description (Application)

0 Trigger Enable To enable an image capturing trigger by 'Trigger' signal for CC-Link IE Field Network Basic

connection.

• ON: An image capturing trigger is enabled.

• OFF: An image capturing trigger is disabled.

1 Trigger To generate an image capturing trigger.

'Trigger Ready' bit needs to be ON before generating an image capturing trigger.

• ON: An image capturing trigger is generated.

•OFF: 

2 Buffer Results Enable To enable the buffer for read results.

New read results are stored in the buffer queue of a code reader.

To acquire the next read results, turn ON 'Results Ack'.

• ON: The buffer for read results is enabled.

• OFF: The buffer for read results is disabled.

3 Results Ack To respond to receiving the latest read results.

A code reader clears 'Results Available' when recognizing that this bit rises.

If 'Buffer Results Enable' is turned ON, the next read results are read out from the buffer queue

when receiving a response.

• ON: Read results are received.
